Lyrics:

Is a Bhríd Óg Ní Mháille  
'S tú d'fhág mo chroí cráite  
'S chuir tú arraingeacha  
An bháis fríd cheartlár mo chroí  
Tá na céadta fear i ngrá  
Le d'éadan ciúin náireach  
Is go dtug tú barr breáchtacht'  
are Thír Oirghiall más fíor  
    
Níl ní are bith is áille 
Ná'n ghealach os cionn a' tsáile are 
Ná bláth bán na n-airne  
Bíos ag fás are an draighean  
Ó siúd mar bíos mo ghrá-sa  
Níos trilsí le breáchtacht  
Béilín meala na háilleacht'  
Nach ndearna riamh claon  
    
Is buachaill deas óg mé 
'Tá triall chun mo phósta  
'S ní buan i bhfad beo mé  
Mura bhfaighidh mé mo mhian  
A chuisle is a stóirín 
Déan réidh agus bí romhamsa 
Cionn deireanach den Domhnach 
are Bhóithrín Dhroim Sliabh  
    
Is tuirseach 's brónach 
A chaithimse an Domhnach  
Mo hata 'mo dhorn liom  
'S mé ag osnaíl go trom 
'S mé ag amharc are na bóithre 
'Mbíonn mo ghrá-sa ag gabhail ann  
'S í ag fear eile pósta  
Is gan í bheith liom

Translation

Oh Bríd Óg O'Malley
You have left my heart breaking
You've sent the death pangs
Of sorrow to pierce my heart sore
A hundred men are craving
For your breathtaking beauty
You're the fairest of maidens
In Oriel for sure

No spectacle is fairer
Than moonbeams on the harbor
Or the sweet scented blossoms
Of the sloe on the thorn
But my love shines much brighter
In looks and in stature
That honey-lipped beauty
Who never said wrong

I'm a handsome young fellow
Who is thinking of wedlock
But my life will be shortened
If I don't get my dear
My love and my darling
Prepare now to meet me
On next Sunday evening
On the road to Drum Slieve

'Tis sadly and lonely
I pass the time on Sunday
My head bowed in sorrow
My sights heavy with woe
As I gaze upon the byways
That my true love walks over
Now she's wed to another
And left me forlorn
